Learn how to cook and eat artichokes! I’ll also show you how to shop for, store and prepare your artichokes. I love to steam artichokes. This is the easiest way to cook them and perfect for a beginner.
An artichoke is an immature flower bud of a thistle plant. They are a round green vegetable made up of lots of leaves tightly packed together.
They have great health benefits; high in fiber, rich in antioxidants and offer a good amount of Vitamin C. I will link to some artichoke recipes below. Enjoy!

HOW TO COOK ARTICHOKES
3-4 artichokes, trimmed
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/2 lemon
filtered water
3-4 artichokes
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 lemon
filtered water
salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Was artichokes under cold water. Trim the bottom of the stem and pull off any tough leaves near the bottom of the artichoke.
Using a scissor, trim off the thorny portion of each leaf. This will about 1/4-1/3 of the leaf.
Using a sharp knife, trim off the top of the artichoke where the leaves are tightly packed together. I like to use a serrated knife for this.
Place a few inches of water in the bottom of a large pot along with a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, and 1/2 a lemon. Bring to a boil, then reduce down to a simmer.
Place the artichokes in the bottom of the pot (you should be able to fit 3-4 artichokes depending on the size of the artichokes and the size of your pot). Simmer for for 35-45 minutes or until the stems are tender and the thicker bottom leaves pulls out easily.
Remove the artichokes from the pot and once they are cool enough to handle, lay them flat side down and cut them in half lengthwise.
Use a spoon to scoop out the choke and any tough leaves near the center (they are not edible so you can toss them!).
Serve with fresh lemon, vinaigrette and/or some garlic aioli. Enjoy!
NOTES
Cooking time may vary based on the size of your artichokes. Ultimately, you want the stem to be fork tender and the leaves to pull out easily. Let this be your guide.
Almonds are nutritionally packed and should be taken regularly for maximum benefit. They are rich in healthy fats, protein, fiber, minerals such as zinc, calcium, magnesium etc. However to ensure that these nutrients are absorbed properly we have to take them in the soaked form overnight for about 8 to 12 hours, as they contain a compound called as tannins which are inhibitors, which inhibit the nutrient absorption. Apart from this, when the almonds are soaked they release an enzyme called as lipase, which helps in the digestion of fats, thereby resulting in a better digestion. Soaked almonds help in regulating blood pressure, diabetes and also helps in reducing your cholesterol levels. They are also rich in insoluble fibers. Thereby helps in preventing constipation. Also their folic acid level helps in maintaining a better nervous system and when consumed during pregnancy, helps in the good development of the fetus. Hence soaked almonds are much higher in terms of nutrient availability.

LYRICS
Take a look at my girlfriend
She’s the only one I got
Not much of a girlfriend
I never seem to get a lot
It’s been some time since we last spoke
This is gonna sound like a bad joke
But momma I fell in love again
It’s safe to say I have a new girlfriend
And I know it sounds so old
But cupid got me in a chokehold
And I’m afraid I might give in
Towels on the mat my white flag is wavin’
I mean she even cooks me pancakes
And Alka Seltzer when my tummy aches
If that ain’t love then I don’t know what love is
We even got a secret handshake
And she loves the music that my band makes
I know I’m young but if I had to choose her or the sun
I’d be one nocturnal son of a gun
Take a look at my girlfriend
She’s the only one I got
Not much of a girlfriend
I never seem to get a lot
It’s been awhile since we talked last and I’m tryin’ hard not to talk fast
But dad I’m finally thinkin’ I may have found the one
Type of girl that will make you way proud of your son
And I know you heard the last song about the girls that didn’t last long
But I promise this is on a whole new plane
I can tell by the way she says my name
I love it when she calls my phone
She even got her very own ringtone
If that ain’t love then I don’t know what love is
It’s gonna be a long drive home but I know as soon as I arrive home
And I open the door take off my coat and throw my bag on the floor
She’ll be back into my arms once more for sure
Take a look at my girlfriend
She’s the only one I got
Not much of a girlfriend
I never seem to get a lot
She’s got a smile that would make the most senile
Annoying old man bite his tongue
I’m not done
She’s got eyes comparable to sunrise
And it doesn’t stop there
Man I swear
She’s got porcelain skin of course she’s a ten
And now she’s even got her own song
But movin’ on
She’s got the cutest laugh I ever heard
And we can be on the phone for three hours
Not sayin’ one word
And I would still cherish every moment
And when I start to build my future she’s the main component
Call it dumb call it luck call it love or whatever you call it but
Everywhere I go I keep her picture in my wallet like here
Take a look at my girlfriend
She’s the only one I got
Not much of a girlfriend
I never seem to get a lot
